You can't imagine how happy I am to be typing this right now. My modem crashed and burned during the week and I've had no Internet access for days. That means no YouTube, no Google and no Blogger. No FaceBook, No Twitter. My life has had no meaning. I have been adrift in a cyberspaceless abyss. I have been devoid of distraction, left to educate my daughter alone with no online support, no videos, no dictionary, no translation, no atlas. Most terrifying of all I haven't been able to talk to you. I love my blogging pals!! I've taken to biting my nails, twirling my hair and binge eating. I have developed a series of worrying tics.

I've missed you all so much!!!!!!!

My darling husband seeing my distress swooped into the rescue this afternoon. He looked so handsome in his sexy blue suit; red satin boxer shorts flapping alluringly over his trousers. Tucked under his arm was a new modem. I have never been so in need of a superhero before...and to think that I am actually married to him!!

Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I'm back on the air!! Have you missed me? Did you even notice that I was missing?

I have some great posts saved to Word which I shall upload and post very soon - just as soon as I check my facts on the Internet. I'll be catching up with all of your blogs too - as soon as I have a chance. I haven't seen many of you since Christmas. I can't wait to discover what Santa brought you and what you resolved to do at New Year and how many of those same resolutions you've broken already. I resolved to read through the Bible in a year. That's going well...I've had nothing else to distract me after all!!

I erronously thought you were gadding again & as I can't gad till the end of the month I was sulking thinking of all the fun you were having without little old me. Too cruel. And to think all this time it was modem woes! M'dear, I eat me words & all them 'orrible thoughts I thunk because if I hadn't missed you it wouldn't matter what you were doing, would it? ☺ Nice to have you back.Phlueeese,boxers *over* his suit trousers!!!! What was your superhero thinking? Every good superhero knows to wear tights. Oops. That set Ditz off. Gottrun & revive the child...

I had wondered what had happened to you - I would have been VERY unhappy without internet access for days, so in answer to your question, YES, I missed your witty and thought provoking posts, and I'm glad that you're back. :D :D :D

I have been here a couple of times to leave a comment but have thought that the posts weren't here. I was a bit perplexed because they were showing in google reader but not here. I had to scroll down to the bottom to read them.

I am having trouble with your blog too. My dahsboard tells me you have a new post about your top 10, but it's not on your page, and when I try to click directly on the link for that post it tells me it doesn't exist????

Hi Jeanne,Your blog displays correctly on my son's computer, but not on mine - it displays like Therese said, and the differences between the two computers are that my son's is running Windows 7 and is Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta, while mine is running Windows XP and using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.6. I think that it might be a browser issue rather than anything to do with Blogger. :P
